Mike Vallely:

I first met Japanese Artist Yusuke Tsuge at the Shin-Yokohama Skatepark while on the2015 Street Plant Japan Tour. On the night that we met, Yusuke gifted me a drawing of a Samurai. As it went from his hands into mine, there was a great exchange of energy and I was sincerely moved by the gesture and by his very kind and strong words. Since our first visit, Yusuke and I have remained in constant contact and he has continued to send me new drawings. We met again on the2016 Street Plant Japan Tourin Zushi, where I also met his beautiful family and they became family to me.

Yusuke’s art is always accompanied by very sincere words that go straight to the heart. His emails land heavy and profoundly in my inbox. There is a poetry to what he says and how he says it bringing light and energy into my life. This is a connection that I greatly value and so it is with great honor that we feature Yusuke’s art on Street Plant Boards. Thank you my Far East friend, Arigato!

About Our Boards:

All of our Street Plant Boards are shaped and designed exclusively for Street Plant withProfessor Paul Schmitt. His hands touch every design and his passion for Skateboarding is in the DNA of every board we produce.

Once the boards have been produced, they arrive in Garageland whereMike Vallelypersonally inscribes each board with the word LOVE on the top of the board between the back truck bolt holes.

We believe that what is made with, and that which passes through our hands, is a direct extension of our hearts. We are NOT interested in the mass-identity of skateboarding nor in the supply and demand culture of the mass-marketing of skateboards. To us, skateboards aren’t some soulless product you buy at the mall. They aren’t just some means to an end. They are an end in themselves. They are alive and they have spirit.
